I received these sailing photos this afternoon from our son and daughter-in-law. Looked like a beautiful Austin, Texas afternoon. Perfect for a sunset sail on Lake Travis. In the second photo you can see the color of the setting sun reflected on the sails.
We just finished handing out the Halloween candy. We counted about 100 children, and most were accompanied by parents, or older brothers and sisters. I couldn’t help but notice how polite our young visitors were. I heard a continual chorus of please and thank you’s throughout the evening. It was a fun night. My husband, Martin decorates the house every year and is the main candy server. My job is to hold back our dog Annika, who wants to get out the door and run with the trick-or-treaters. I can’t believe Halloween has come and gone. Next stop, Thanksgiving.

Zion National Park is one of our favorite places to spend vacation time. It’s especially wonderful when we share it with family and friends. Above you can see our younger grandson, as he watches the Virgin River flowing by.
We did some great hiking and saw many beautiful sights.
This is our third visit to Zion National Park. Each visit is different, yet wonderful in its own way. Last year it was rainy, which gave the mountains a mystical appearance. This year it is sunny. Mid 70s during the day and high 40s at night. Perfect sleeping weather.
If you would like to see photos from our previous visits to Zion, please go to the front page of Plum Bird Corner and type Zion in the Search box. If you’ve never been to Zion National Park, you must add it to your vacation bucket list. You will not regret it.
